I added a small hour meter like this one to my generator so I can track hours between oil changes.
I have a pre-owned EU2000i that still idles bad after rebuilding the carb. I'm about ready to replace the carb on it.
Honda recommends a 100 hour oil change interval, so that's what I do with mine.
I also added cheap hour meters to my Hondas, one 2000 bought new, one bought used. I mounted the hour meter to the spark plug cover, because that small piece is easy to change, instead of putting holes in the main covers.
Delta Bravo, I had the same issue with the 2000 I bought used. Take it apart and clean it again. Seriously, I had to do that after I was positive I had the carb spotless, but it wasn't. There was the tiniest piece of dirt only blocking about a fourth of one of the emulsifier tube holes, and it wouldn't run correctly. It needs them all. I used a strand of wire from a brass brush, as I do not think plastic is strong enough to clean the stubborn stuff off. These don't get cleaned this way often enough to worry about scratching or enlarging the holes.
